Product Information

Full details

This 70mm black case fan from Kenable is designed for users seeking effective and quiet CPU cooling. Its key benefit is its high rotational speed of up to 4000 RPM combined with a low noise level, ensuring efficient heat dissipation without significant distraction. A potential caveat is its 3-pin connector, which may limit compatibility with some motherboard fan headers that only support 4-pin PWM control.

FAQs

What is the maximum rotational speed of this fan?

The fan can reach a maximum rotational speed of 4000 RPM +/-10%.

Is this fan quiet?

Yes, it is designed to be super-silent, with an acoustical noise level of 25 dB at its maximum speed.

What type of bearing does this fan use?

This fan features a durable sleeve bearing.

What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) for this fan?

The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is rated at 30,000 hours.

Can I control the fan speed with this 3-pin connector?

A 3-pin connector typically allows for voltage control, but not the precise PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control offered by 4-pin connectors. Speed control might be limited by motherboard BIOS settings or require an external fan controller.

What are the physical dimensions of the fan?

The fan itself is 70mm wide, 70mm deep, and 15mm thick.

What is the maximum air pressure the fan can generate?

The maximum static pressure is 2.08 mmH2O.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not spin

Verify the 3-pin connector is fully seated on the motherboard header. Check that the motherboard fan header is functional and supplying power. Ensure the fan's operating voltage (6-14V) is met.

Fan is making unusual noise

Check for any obstructions around the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted to the case. If the noise persists, the bearing may be degrading; consider replacement if MTBF is exceeded or warranty is still valid.

Low airflow or speed

Confirm the fan is connected to a 12V header and not a voltage-reduced header. If using a 3-pin fan on a 4-pin header without BIOS control, it will run at full speed. Check for BIOS settings that might be limiting fan speed. Ensure there are no blockages in the air path.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent cooling performance with high RPM.
  • Operates very quietly, ideal for noise-sensitive users.
  • Durable construction with a long MTBF rating.
  • Slim profile allows for easy installation in tight spaces.
  • Energy-efficient with a low rated current.

Cons

  • 3-pin connector limits PWM speed control capabilities.
  • May not be compatible with motherboards lacking 3-pin fan headers.
  • Specific RPM control might require third-party software or controllers.
  • Black color might not match all system aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged.
  2. Locate an available 3-pin fan header on your motherboard.
  3. Align the fan's 3-pin connector with the header pins, ensuring correct orientation (usually indicated by a keyed connector or red wire for +12V).
  4. Gently push the connector onto the header until it is securely seated.
  5. Secure the fan to your case using screws or other mounting hardware appropriate for your chassis.

Compatibility:

  • This fan is compatible with motherboards featuring 3-pin fan headers. It can also be used with 4-pin headers, but it will run at full speed and lack PWM control.
  • Requires a 12V DC power source from the motherboard header.
  • The 6-14V operating range allows for flexibility with some voltage control methods.

Care:

  • Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and motor housing using compressed air or a soft, dry brush.
  • Avoid using liquids for cleaning.
  • Ensure fan blades spin freely after cleaning.
